Commercial bias in scripting


Every writer has to decide on a bias before writing the script. Nollywood is mainly patronised by women. As such a commercial writer will write a film favourable to women.

If two suitors are fighting for the affection of a pretty damsel, one is WHITE, the other BLACK. to be a COMMERCIALLY oriented, the BLACK suitor should win in a Nollywood film if the Damsel in question is also BLACK.
In conclusion commercial writers should not ignore the stereotypes and beliefs of their audience when writing. Do not impose your superiority complex on them.
